How to Sync Structured Across Your Devices

Edited

To automatically sync your tasks across all of your Apple devices, you can either use Structured Cloud or iCloud. That way, you can plan your day on your iPad, edit them on your Mac device, keep an eye on your schedule on your Apple Watch and check off completed tasks on your iPhone.

The best thing about the sync is, that it completely free and doesn't require Structured Pro.


This feature is not available on Android yet. ๐Ÿค–


iCloud Sync

You can use Apple's iCloud to sync your tasks across your Apple devices. The iCloud sync is set as the default sync in your Structured app.

To set up the iCloud Sync, you first have to check your iCloud Sync Status. If the iCloud sync is not enabled automatically, you have to enable the iCloud Sync for Structured. Following, these steps are described in more detail.


Check iCloud Sync Status

Usually, iCloud Sync is already set up on your device and your Structured data is syncing automatically. To check the sync status, open your โš™๏ธ Structured Settings and tap the iCloud Sync in the General section.

The iCloud Sync Status should say Syncingโ€ฆ or Fully synced. If it instead states iCloud not enabled or Not logged into iCloud, you might have deactivated iCloud Drive or denied Structured accessing your iCloud. Check out the section below to address this.


Enable iCloud Sync For Structured

  1. Go to your โš™๏ธ Settings App and navigate to the iCloud settings.

  2. Ensure that iCloud Drive is activated and that you have a sufficient amount of free storage on your iCloud Drive.

  3. Furthermore, you have to allow Structured to use iCloud. To do so, go to the list of apps using iCloud and toggle the button for Structured.

The Structured Cloud is our own sync solution that allows you to synchronize your schedules quickly and seamlessly between your Apple devices. Enabling it is quick and easy.

To set up the Structured Cloud Sync, you first have to enable the Structured Cloud. In the next step, you have to log in to Structured Cloud. You will also learn, how to enable the Structured Cloud on your Apple Watch. Following, these steps are described in more detail.

Please note that Structured Cloud sync is only available from Structured version 3.4.3 onward.

Sync Limitations

As of now, only Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch) can be synced with Structured Cloud or iCloud. Please note that you can only use either Structured Cloud or iCloud sync - it is not possible to mix up both.

We are planning to expand the Structured Cloud sync additionally for Android devices and our upcoming Web version. Eventually, you will be able to sync your Structured timeline and tasks regardless of the operating system.

Moreover, it is not possible yet to share data or collaborate with other Structured users.

Keep an eye out to our Roadmap and our Social Media channels to stay up to date.
